Will Galen Rupp be the non-naturalized American to break 2:07?

He had been groomed since high school to be a top international runner. He has done very well. So too has Ritz. Of course you have Ryan Hall who is probably the greatest non-naturalized American marathoner of all-time. After that there seems to be a dearth of emerging talent. Who IS on the horizon? I see a lot of 2:10 - to 2:12 guys. No one of those guys is going to break 2:07. I don't see anyone on the horizon even being able to come close. Hall, Ritz and Rupp were generational talents (if you can have 3 people at the same generation considered as "generational"). Who else is out there? Is there anyone who can run world class times? 2:12 kind of sucks compared to the 2:01s, the 2:02s, the 2:03s and the 2:04s.

I meant the "last" naturalized American.

Let. It. Go. Sally.

Let. It. Go.

Give it 15 years. The naturalized people will have kids who will be able to run decent times.

You apparently don't know what a "typo" is. I left out "last." That is not a "typo."

Omission is still a typographical error.

I even thought about that but don't think you are right. Prove me wrong.

Read this - omission does not seem to be a typographical error.

A typographical error (often shortened to typo), also called misprint, is a mistake (such as a spelling mistake)[1] made in the typing of printed (or electronic) material. Historically, this referred to mistakes in manual type-setting (typography). The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger,[2] but excludes errors of ignorance, such as spelling errors, or the flip-flopping of words such as "than" and "then". Before the arrival of printing, the "copyist's mistake" or "scribal error" was the equivalent for manuscripts. Most typos involve simple duplication, omission, transposition, or substitution of a small number of characters.

Fat finger, or "fat-finger syndrome", a slang term, refers to an unwanted secondary action when typing. When one's finger is bigger than the touch zone, there can be inaccuracy in the fine motor movements and accidents occur. This is common with touchscreens. One may hit two adjacent keys on the keyboard in a single keystroke. An example is "buckled" instead of "bucked", due to the "L" key being next to the "K" key on the QWERTY keyboard, the most common keyboard for Latin-script alphabets.

I omitted "last" but that was included in the first response. None of us are perfect.

You're the typo king of these boards. Get some gloves or something to warm up your fingers so we can have meaningful discourse without needing a cryptographer.
